Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to communication systems and in particular, to a method and apparatus for transmission and reception within a multicarrier communication system.
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is a well-known multicarrier modulation method that is used in several wireless system standards. Some of the systems using OFDM include 5 GHz high data rate wireless LANs (IEEE802.11a, HiperLar ⁇ , MMAC), digital audio and digital video broadcast in Europe (DAB and DVB-T, respectively), and broadband fixed wireless systems such as IEEE802.16a.
- An OFDM system divides the available bandwidth into very many narrow frequency bands (subcarriers), with data being transmitted in parallel on the subcarriers. Each subcarrier utilizes a different portion of the occupied frequency band.
- Spreading can also be applied to the data in an OFDM system to provide various forms of multicarrier spread spectrum.
- Such spread-OFDM systems are generally referred to as either Spread OFDM (SOFDM), multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA), or Orthogonal Frequency Code Division Multiplexing (OFCDM).
- SOFDM Spread OFDM
- MC-CDMA multicarrier CDMA
- OFCDM Orthogonal Frequency Code Division Multiplexing
- OFCDM different users are assigned different mutually orthogonal spreading codes, and the spread signals are combined prior to transmission on the downlink.
- Spreading can be applied in the frequency dimension, or the time dimension, or a combination of time and frequency spreading can be used.
- orthogonal codes such as Walsh codes are used for the spreading function, and multiple data symbols can be code multiplexed onto different Walsh codes (i.e., multi-code transmission). Focusing on OFCDM systems, the orthogonality between Walsh codes is only preserved if the channel is constant over all of the time/frequency resources that are spanned by the Walsh code. This leads to different tradeoffs between time and frequency spreading for different system parameters (e.g., subcarrier and OFDM symbol spacing) and different channel conditions (e.g., delay spread and Doppler spread). For an OFCDM system with a spreading factor of SE in the time dimension, in which each symbol is represented by SE chips, up to SE Walsh codes can be active on each subcarrier.
- one of these Walsh codes can be assigned as a pilot signal (i.e., in the same way that a pilot signal is created in conventional single-carrier CDMA systems such as IS-95).
- a problem with this method is that when time-variations are significant, for example due to vehicular mobility, the orthogonality of the Walsh codes is lost. This causes the pilot channel to suffer interference from the other Walsh codes. Channel estimation is degraded due to this interference.
- despreading the pilot channel a single channel estimate results for the entire spread block of SE "chips.” This single channel estimate is not accurate when the channel varies significantly over the block (SE chips). Therefore, a need exists for a method and apparatus for transmission and reception within an OFDM communication system that provides a more accurate channel estimate, and reduces the amount of pilot channel degradation for time-varying channels.

- a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a spread OFDM system is provided herein.
- a staggered time-spread OFCDM scheme is utilized that improves channel estimation.
- each chip stream is time shifted by a predetermined amount and then transmitted on a predetermined subcarrier. This results in time-spread symbols being staggered (time-offset) on different subcarriers allowing for more frequent sampling of the channel, improving channel estimation.
- a staggered spreading approach is applied in the frequency dimension to improve the performance of a system with spreading in the frequency dimension.
- the present invention encompasses a method for transmitting data in a multi-carrier system where data from an individual user is transmitted on multiple subcarriers.
- the method comprises the steps of de-multiplexing a data stream to produce a plurality of de-multiplexed data streams then spreading demultiplexed data streams with a spreading code to produce a plurality of chip streams. Each chip stream is time shifted by a predetermined amount and transmitted on a predetermined subcarrier.
- the present invention additionally encompasses a method for transmitting data.
- the method comprises the steps of de-multiplexing a symbol stream to produce a plurality of de-multiplexed symbols, and spreading each symbol with a spreading code to produce a plurality spread symbols, each comprising a predetermined number of chips.
- a first chip of a spread symbol is mapped to a predetermined subcarrier and for a second transmission interval, the first chip of a spread symbol is mapped to a second subcarrier, wherein the second subcarrier differs from the first subcarrier.
- the present invention additionally encompasses a method comprising the steps of receiving a multicarrier signal comprising a plurality of subcarriers, demodulating the multicarrier signal to produce a chip stream, despreading the chip stream with a pilot code during a first symbol period to produce a first channel estimate for the first symbol period, despreading the chip stream with the pilot code during a second symbol period to produce a second channel estimate for the second symbol period, generating a third channel estimate only for a portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates, and generating a fourth channel estimate for a second portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates.
- the present invention additionally encompasses an apparatus comprising a de-multiplexer, de-multiplexing a data stream to produce a plurality of de-multiplexed data streams, a spreader spreading the demultiplexed data streams with a spreading code to produce a plurality of chip streams, a time shifter, time shifting each chip stream by a predetermined amount, and a transmitter, transmitting each time-shifted chip stream on a predetermined subcarrier.
- the present invention additionally encompasses an apparatus comprising a de-multiplexer, de-multiplexing a symbol stream to produce a plurality of de-multiplexed symbols, a spreader, spreading each symbol with a spreading code to produce a plurality spread symbols, each comprising a predetermined number of chips, and a mapper, for a first transmission interval, mapping a first chip of a spread symbol to a predetermined subcarrier and for a second transmission interval, mapping the first chip of a spread symbol to a second subcarrier, wherein the second subcarrier differs from the first subcarrier.
- the present invention additionally encompasses an apparatus comprising a receiver, receiving a multicarrier signal comprising a plurality of subcarriers and demodulating the multicarrier signal to produce a chip stream, a channel estimator, despreading the chip stream with a pilot code during a first symbol period to produce a first channel estimate for the first symbol period, and despreading the chip stream with the pilot code during a second symbol period to produce a second channel estimate for the second symbol period, and an interpolator generating a third channel estimate only for a portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates and generating a fourth channel estimate for a second portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates.
- FIG. 1. and FIG. 2 show examples of prior-art methods for including pilot symbols in an OFDM-based system.
- these prior art methods can be used for systems that transmit regular OFDM data, or spread data (such as MC-CDMA, OFCDM).
- each individual pilot symbol occupies only "one subcarrier by one OFDM symbol period", and also note that the pilot and data are not code multiplexed. Instead, the pilot symbols separated in time and/or frequency from the data.
- a channel estimate may be obtained at each pilot symbol location, which is separate from the data or spread data locations.
- the channel may be estimated at other locations in the time-frequency grid, especially locations where data or spread data is located, so the data can be despread and detected.
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises the use of a spread pil ⁇ trthaHs code multiplexed with spread data.
- each chip representing a first symbol is transmitted on subcarrier 1, followed by another eight chips representing another symbol. Similar transmissions occur on subcarriers 2 through 4.
- Up to SE symbols can be code multiplexed onto the same time/frequency space. For example, up to SE symbols can be code multiplexed onto the same subcarrier during a single spreading block interval, b. In a system with a code multiplexed pilot, at least one of the Walsh codes is used as a pilot channel. The composite signal at a particular location in the time-frequency grid is described as
- b is the spreading block interval index (note that b increases by one every SE OFDM symbol periods); n is the chip index within the /3 th spreading block interval. Note that n increments from 1 to SE within each spreading block interval b; k is ; the subcarrier index, 1 ⁇ & ⁇ ⁇ ; c denotes the scrambling code; i is the Walsh code index, 1 ⁇ * ⁇ SE ; p denotes the Walsh code index that is used for the pilot channel; Wi denotes the j ft Walsh code;
- Aj denotes the (real) gain applied to the i ⁇ Walsh code channel (e.g., based on power control settings, if any); and de notes the complex data symbol that modulates the /' th Walsh code.
- d p denotes the pilot symbol that modulates the ?* Walsh code channel (i.e., the pilot channel).
- an OFCDM system has different characteristics than conventional single-carrier CDM/CDMA systems.
- single-carrier CDMA systems a common source of signal distortion is inter-chip interference due to multipath delay spread. This inter-chip interference destroys the orthogonality between different orthogonal spreading codes even though the channel does not vary within a spreading block.
- OFDM-based multicarrier spread system such as OFCDM eliminates the inter-chip interference problem because of its reduced chip rate together with the cyclic prefix that is commonly used in OFDM-based systems.
- OFCDM OFDM-based multicarrier spread system
- the chip duration is much greater than in a comparable- bandwidth single carrier system.
- the duration of a spreading block is greatly expanded in an OFCDM system, and this creates an inherent problem of sensitivity to channel variation over a spreading block.
- Channel variation within a spreading block causes interference between orthogonal spreading codes, and additionally leads to channel estimation problems if a code multiplexed pilot is used.
- time-spread symbols being staggered (time-offset) on different subcarriers allowing for more frequent sampling of the channel.
- Increased channel sampling rate results in improved channel estimator performance and improved channel tracking ability for higher dopplers (e.g., higher vehicle speeds or higher channel frequencies in a mobile wireless system).
- the present invention allows more flexibility in selecting the parameters of an OFCDM system (such as SE, chip duration, number of subcarriers) since the resulting system is more robust to channel variations.
- FIG. 4 illustrates such a spread OFDM channel structure in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As is evident, from one subcarrier to another, the first chip for each symbol is staggered in time.
- the "stagger offset” (SO) is equal to 4, so from one subcarrier to the next each symbol (comprising SE chips) is offset by 4 chip periods.
- SE 8
- the eight chips are then transmitted on a particular frequency (subcarrier).
- sixteen chips representing up to SE*2 symbols are transmitted on subcarrier 1, with sixteen chips representing up to another SE*2 symbols being transmitted on subcarrier 2.
- the sixteen chips transmitted on subcarrier 2 are time shifted so that transmission of the first chip takes place during the same time period as transmission of the 4 th chip on subcarrier 1.
- FIG. 4 the sixteen chips transmitted on subcarrier 2 are time shifted so that transmission of the first chip takes place during the same time period as transmission of the 4 th chip on subcarrier 1.
- transmitter 300 comprises de-multiplexer 301, spreaders 302 and 304, time shifter 305, and OFDM modulator/transmitter 306.
- de-multiplexer 301 For simplicity, data from a single user (e.g., uplink) or for a single user (e.g., downlink) is shown in FIG. 5, however one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that in typical OFCDM transmitters, multiple users transmit (or are transmitted to) simultaneously with up to SE symbols occupying the same time/frequency space.
- demultiplexer 301 where the data stream is de-multiplexed into a plurality of data streams.
- Typical de-multiplexing operations convert a data stream at a given data rate (R) into N data streams each having a data rate of R N.
- the de-multiplexed data streams enter spreader 302 where standard spreading occurs, producing a plurality of chip streams.
- spreader 302 modulo 2 adds an orthogonal code (e.g., an 8 chip Walsh code) to data symbol.
- an orthogonal code e.g., an 8 chip Walsh code
- the spreading code is modulated by a complex data symbol, for example d f in the earlier equations; this complex data symbol may be selected from a M-ary QAM or M-ary PSK constellation, for example.
- the spreading code preferably corresponds to a Walsh code from an 8 by 8 Hadamard matrix wherein a Walsh code is a single row or column of the matrix.
- spreader 302 repetitively outputs a Walsh code modulated by the present input data symbol value.
- additional spreading or other operations may occur by spreader 302. For example, power control and/or data scrambling may be done, as shown in the previous equation.
- a single pilot per sub-channel is broadcast along with each symbol stream, providing channel estimation to aid in subsequent demodulation of a transmitted signal.
- the single pilot channel is utilized by all users receiving data during the particular frequency/time period.
- the transmission of the pilot channel may be "skipped" at various time periods/subcarriers in order to transmit more data when the channel conditions allow.
- a receiver knowing the sequence and time interval, utilizes this information in demodulating/decoding the non-pilot broadcasts, which preferably occur on different spreading codes than the pilot.
- a pilot stream (comprising a known symbol pattern) enters spreader 304, where it is appropriately spread utilizing a code from the 8 orthogonal codes.
- the pilot chip stream is then summed with each data chip stream via summers 303. It should be noted that data for more than one data stream may be summed at summers 303. In other words data for each user transmitted during the particular frequency/time period will have chips of multiple spreading codes summed at summers 303.
- the resulting summed chip stream is output to time shifter 305. As discussed above, time shifter 305 shifts specific chip streams on the different subcarriers (frequencies) in time allowing for more frequent sampling of the channel.
- FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing operation of the transmitter of FIG. 5 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the logic flow begins at step 401 where a data stream from/for a user is de-multiplexed into a plurality of data streams.
- each data stream is spread with a particular Walsh code and summed with a spread pilot code (step 405).
- the summed chip streams enter time shifter 305 where they are appropriately time shifted depending upon the subcarrier they are to be transmitted on (step 407). Finally at step 409 OFDM modulation and transmission occurs.
- the above text described a system in which transmissions on different subcarriers were time shifted by a predetermined number of chips. This results in time-spread symbols being staggered (time-offset) on different subcarriers allowing for more frequent sampling of the channel in the time dimension, such that better estimates of the time- varying channel are obtained.
- spreading is performed in the frequency dimension rather than (or in combination with) the time dimension.
- channel variation occurs over the subcarriers due to mutilpath delay spread, resulting in a loss of orthogonality between pilot and data spreading codes and difficulty in estimating the channel variations over the subcarriers.
- the staggered spreading approach of the present invention is applied in the frequency dimension to improve the performance of a system with spreading in the frequency dimension, as is shown in FIG. 7.
- a first chip of each symbol is transmitted on a first predetermined set of subcarriers (frequencies).
- the first chip of each symbol is transmitted on a second predetermined set of subcarriers, where the second predetermined set of subcarriers differs from the first predetermined set of subcarriers.
- a first chip of a spread symbol is mapped to a predetermined subcarrier during a first transmission interval, and then mapped to a second subcarrier during a second transmission interval.
- the spread symbol is mapped to subcarriers k to k+SF-1 during the first transmission interval, and to m to m+SF-1 during the second transmission interval.
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram of transmitter 600 in a spread OFDM communication system in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
- transmitter 600 is similar to transmitter 300 except that time shifter 305 has been replaced by frequency/subcarrier mapper 605. Operation of transmitter 600 occurs as described above with reference to FIG. 5 except that the summed chip streams exiting summers 603 enter mapper 605 where they are mapped to different subcarriers as described above. In particular, for a first transmission interval, mapper 605 maps a first chip of a spread symbol to a predetermined subcarrier, and for a second transmission interval, mapper 605 maps the first chip of a spread symbol to a second subcarrier, wherein the second subcarrier differs from the first subcarrier. It should noted that in both FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 there exists frequency/chip locations that remain empty due to the staggering of transmissions.
- FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 in terms of the spreading and the mapping of the spread symbols to the subcarrier / OFDM symbol grid are possible.
- the data symbols and pilot symbol(s) may be spread with differing spreading factors, preferably based on Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes.
- OVSF Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor
- the spread data with a spreading factor of 16 can be mapped onto two different subcarriers to provide two-dimensional spreading on the data, which is known in the art to provide additional frequency diversity.
- FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing operation of the transmitter of FIG. 8 in accordance with the alternate embodiment of the present invention.
- the logic flow begins at step 701 where a data stream from/for a user is demultiplexed into a plurality of data streams.
- each data stream is spread with a particular Walsh code and summed with a spread pilot code (step 705).
- the summed chip streams enter frequency mapper 605 where they are appropriately mapped to a particular subcarrier (step 707).
- OFDM modulation and transmission occurs. As described above, during a first transmission period all symbols to be transmitted have their first chip transmitted on a first predetermined set of subcarriers. During the next time period (chip period) all symbols to be transmitted have their first chip transmitted on a second predetermined set of subcarriers.
- the first and the second set of subcarriers are mutually exclusive.
- a receiver is allowed more frequent sampling of the channel.
- a baseline channel estimate is preferably obtained per spreading block by despreading the received signal by the pilot's Walsh code.
- the pilot channel is preferably despread by multiplying the received signal by the conjugate of the pilot's Walsh code times the scrambling code, and summing the elements; it is then preferably demodulated by dividing out the gain and pilot symbol:
- the baseline channel estimates h ⁇ b,k) available once per spreading block and subcarrier, are -combined to take advantage of any correlation that exists across subcarriers, and to obtain per- chip channel estimates within the spreading block.
- the channel estimate is held constant over the spread block and frequency filtering is applied.
- the chip-level channel estimates are obtained by interpolating the spread block channel estimates.
- the channel estimates are first held constant for SO OFDM symbols, where SO is the "stagger offset", and the "stagger period" is defined
- h a d (l,k) h ⁇ b(l,k),k) where l - l - SO - mod(k - l,SP) b( k) + 1 SF
- the held channel estimates may be combined to obtain channel estimates that vary with the chip index:
- h (I k) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention ⁇ > held ' ' (or h (I k a,H ⁇ v ' f or interpolated channel estimates) is then filtered across subcarriers for each OFDM symbol /.
- the filtering can be implemented in several ways. One way is to take an IFFT, and apply a multiplicative window to the time- domain channel to zero-out the portions corresponding to delay spreads larger than a maximum expected delay spread. Then the channel is obtained by taking an FFT. Another approach to the filtering is in the frequency domain directly.
- ⁇ GC Equal -gain chip combing
- MMSE criterion
- FIG. 11 is a block diagram of receiver 900 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, receiver 900 comprises receiver/demodulator 901, buffer 902, despreader 903 channel estimator 904, chip-level interpolator 905, and multiplexer 906.
- demodulator 901 receives multiple subcarriers (multicarrier signal) and demodulates them producing a plurality of chip streams.
- the chip streams are passed to buffer 902 where they are stored.
- Buffer 902 stores the demodulated chip stream for a predetermined time while channel estimation takes place.
- channel estimator 904 accesses buffer 902 and despreads the chip stream with a pilot code during a first symbol period (i.e., a first SE chips) to produce a first channel estimate for the first symbol period.
- channel estimator 904 despreads the chip steam with the pilot code during a second symbol period to produce a second channel estimate for the second symbol period.
- the channel estimates are passed to chip-level interpolator 905 where a third channel estimate is generated. As described above with reference to FIG. 11, the third channel estimate is generated only for a portion of the first symbol period (i.e., a portion less than SE chips), and is based on the first and the second channel estimates. In a similar manner, a fourth channel estimate is generated of a second portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates.
- the channel estimates are passed to despreader 903 where they are utilized in despreading the chip streams into multiple data streams. Multiplexer 906 then recombines the data streams.
- FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing channel estimation in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The logic flow begins at step 1001 where a multicarrier signal is received comprising a plurality of subcarriers.
- the received signal comprises a multicarrier signal having relatively time-shifted chip streams existing on at least two subcarriers.
- the received signal is demodulated to produce a plurality of chip streams (step 1003).
- the chip stream is despread with a pilot code during a first symbol period to produce a first channel estimate for the first symbol period
- the chip steam is despread with the pilot code during a second symbol period to produce a second channel estimate for the second symbol period.
- the first and the second symbol periods are non-overlapping in time and in the alternate embodiment of the present invention the first and the second symbol periods are non-overlapping in frequency.
- a third channel estimate is produced for a portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates
- a fourth channel estimate is generated for a second portion of the first symbol period based on the first and the second channel estimates.
